1. A window assembly for a vehicle, the window assembly comprising:
a first drive comprising a first stator and a first rotor, wherein the first rotor is arranged around the first stator and rotates relative to the first stator about a first longitudinal axis fixed relative to the first stator when the first drive is electrically powered;
a mobile window having a transversal edge and a first longitudinal edge, the mobile window being slidable relative to the first stator substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis, between an open position where the transversal edge is positioned at a first longitudinal end of the first drive and the first longitudinal edge is positioned along the first drive, and a closed position where the transversal edge is positioned at a second longitudinal end of the first drive and where the first longitudinal edge is positioned past the first drive along the first longitudinal axis; and
a first transmission mechanism, the mobile window being driven between the open position and the closed position by the rotation of the first rotor, via the first transmission mechanism.
